Helping You
Dr Karen helps people improve their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing, in a lasting way, by inspiring deeper relationships with the natural world.
Blending science and indigenous knowledge with human emotional experience, she helps you gain an instinctive connection with nature that can be truly uplifting and transformative.
Her methods have been honed over 30 years, and have helped people from all walks of life, from those seeking personal development through gaining a better understanding of themselves and their part in the complex web of life, to those dealing with trauma, PTSD, autism, anxiety and chronic illness.
In addition to offering Specialist 1-to-1 Therapy, Dr Karen shares her wisdom through her Nature Discovery digital courses, her Seasonal Wisdom Programme, and a variety of wisdom sharing events, both in-person and LIVE via Zoom.
Seasonal Wisdom Programme
Born from her previous Well-being Programme (offered from Spring 2023 to Spring 2025), Dr Karen's Seasonal Wisdom Programme has been developed to help people experience, understand and grow from working in synchronicity with nature’s cycles.
Dr Karen curates each 12-week programme to reflect the energies calling to co-work with her that season. The small group (max. 15 people) meets via Zoom, with meditations and journeying sessions led by Dr Karen. There is plenty of opportunity to ask questions and share experiences with the rest of the group, should you want to do so. Two vibrational essences are provided to further deepen your connection with the plant, and the animal or bird that the group are working with that season.
Participants also enjoy two personal consultation calls with Dr Karen to ask questions or seek guidance. They are also able to take advantage of discounted rates to join Dr Karen's Celtic Festival and Moon-cycle ceremonies, wisdom talks and in-person events.

It's been brilliant, exciting and enlightening and very, very useful. Enchanting, empowering, revealing and fun! (JM)
The Essence really opened me up to the deeper connection and I noticed clients and family have been impacted by the ripple effect also. (JT)
IPHM Accredited Courses
Dr Karen is an Accredited Executive Training Provider with IPHM, International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine, the largest leading independent professional accreditation board worldwide for holistic, complementary and alternative therapies.
Are you interested in learning to co-work with the profound energies of Nature, animals and the world around you?
Whatever your background, Dr Karen’s teaching will inspire and guide you to develop a deeper connection with Nature.
Courses are always small groups (max. 6 people) and are delivered in person, in Somerset or Devon, UK. With so few places available, it is suggested that you book your place well in advance to avoid disappointment.
1-to-1 Specialist Help
Clients often come to Dr Karen after trying medication and talking therapies that have provided some relief but have failed to help them move forward.
Dr Karen’s therapy sessions can be profound, and also challenging, but all take place outside in nature or with animals, using your senses, without the stress of sitting in a closed room trying to find words to explain how you feel.
If you are struggling with your mental health or chronic illness, go to the Therapy page, and if you think it might be right for you, book a free phone consultation.
